This post goes to all the people who were young enough to embrace the psychedelic 90’s cartoon sub culture. You had talking ponies and along with muscular men fighting off evil in hairy loin cloths. But nothing tops the spaced out, pothead idea of having talking tortoises who practice the art of ninjitsu. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) holds a such a special place in my heart. I collected the toys, bought the comics and even synthesized my name with the coolest character in the team (but lets not get into that shall we?). The awesome foursome is poised to take on the 21st century by way of a 3D animated feature that is set for a spring 2007 release. No word on actually what happens in this movie but with the trend of old franchise resuscitations, it most likely will be an origin story. Check out the trailer here to see some nifty computer generated ninja turtle action! Click here!

Yeah, I have been away for too long. If you click on the picture it will take you to my flickr account with photos of all the 4 different character teaser posters…
Oh, and the name of the turtle which I relate to is the one that adorns the teaser poster above…hehe

Leonardo leads
Donatello does machines
Raphael is cool but crude
Michaelangelo is a party dude!
OK I admit I couldn’t remember some of it and had help from Goigle. Hahaha. OK that’s pathetic. Shit.
My favorite TMNT (TM Not Troublesome? Haha!) same as yours. But I also like KRANG!!! I find him highly amusing. Can’t wait for the movie man!

When the evil shredder attacks,
These turtle boys don’t cut ‘em no slack!

me-Starshaped: Raphael is the coolest of the lot. His character is a lot darker in the original comics and a bit of a hot head. Wonder when they will release a DVD collection of the entire series…
me-Goi: Hor Hor Hor. I’m glad there are still people like you out there who keeps 90’s cartoon jingles alive…
